The comment was definitely about letting him win, not when would he actually win. Gilles' fans, and coach, should be worried that he appears to be saying, even in jest, that he wants Andy to let him win. Andy's fans should have been worried if Andy had given the slightest inkling that he'd "let" anyone beat him in a competitive environment.

Of course, there may be some who would want to twist Andy's words, but if Andy were to lose - it's on the same day Fed lost to a lower ranked player, and the day after Djokovic lost to an even lower ranked one. The biggest risk is that those giant felling matches gives other lower ranked players confidence to join in.

I can't see Andy taking any match for granted on clay. I think he knows that Simon can be hard work - even if he's consistently come out on top.
